Individual, (coconut frond)thatch weave lined-and-roofed cabanas were a new experience for us - with relaxing views of the rolling waves of the sea and sea-breeze-cooling accommodation. The 'hotel' made every attempt to remain environmentally sustainable. The recognition of Christmas-eve with a specially-curated dinner, little gifts from Santa for the kids and trinkets for all, carols from a local church with a Santa in attendance made the stay truly memorable and magical for my family! Manager of the Hotel, Mr. Hafi, and the receptionist Mr. Jehan were the epitome of hospitality, Mr. Jehan expressing concern about our safety after being informed that our car had met with an accident on the way. In line with their environmental sustainability policy, the hotel does not try 'own' the beach and landscape its surroundings too much. Its seeming isolation and 'wild', one-with-the environment appearance was something we appreciated. I've already recommended the hotel to members of the extended family although it's a long distance to travel from Kandy! We also appreciated the Tsunami commemoration by the Hotel. We joined them but were saddened to notice that the other Sri Lankan families/visitors there did not think to join the commemoration for the 5-10 minutes it took! Wickrama & family [Sri Lanka]
